Hi David
As a matter of interest do Rotax publish a limit for turbo inlet temperature
and do you monitor it?

Darin, The warning and alarm limits for 914 EGTs given by Rotax in the
Flydat manual are 880 & 900 degrees Centigrade respectively. Mine usually
run around the 700 mark with the rear pair being perhaps 60 deg hotter.
880C. is 1616F, and 760 is 1400F so you haven't exceeded limits but seem to
be running hotter than I do. But on the other hand if you are just doing
ground runs you aren't getting much in the way of cooling, & new engines
also run relatively hot until they have polished all the rough surfaces off
a bit. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
